Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Will she turn her back on me

Or accept me as a man

And what about your dad

Did you think of what he'll say
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way


Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before

And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door


Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
If she says forget about me

Do you think you'd understand

And what about your friends

Do you care what people say
Will you accept the burdons
I know will surely come your way


Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before

And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door


Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Will she turn her back on me

Or accept me as a man

We've got to stand tall

Can't stumble or crawl
We've got to be strong
For love that's so right

Can't be wrong

And every day I see it grow

And I don't want to let it go
I guess that's why I gotta know


Does your mama know about me
Does your mama know about me
Does your mama know about me

Does your mama know about me
Does your mama know about me
